v L. R. SATTERLEE, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

ATTAGI-IING IKSTANDS TO IDESKSl Specification of Letters Patent No.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, L. R. SATTERLEE, of the city of Rochester, in thecounty of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a certain new andImproved Mode of Attaching Inkstands to Desks, Especially the Desks Usedin School-Houses,. of which the following is a full and accuratedescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, makingpart of this specification, of which- Figure l, is a sectional view ofthe whole when together, Figs. 2, 3 and 4, are details of the variousparts, and Fig. 5 is a view of the wrench, used for unscrewing the capC.

The nature of this invention consists in providing an outer case for theink stand which shall protect it from injury and dust, and render itimmovable by any means usuallv at the command of children attendingschool, while at the same time it aiords perfect access to the ink, andthe utmost facility in cleansing the ink holder. This means it may befixed so rmly, that the strongest man cannot unscrew it with his hands;and as school-boys would not be 15,527, dated August 12, 1856.

likely to incur the amount of trouble necessary to construct a wrench,such as is requisite, the inkstand may be considered immovable, to allintents and purposes. And

lthus may be avoided the annoyance oca piece of woolen cloth or someother nonv conducting substance laid over the base plate (B) it iseffectually preserved from frost, which is an object of the greatestimportance, especially in northern latitudes. It is evident, that whereeconomy is sought, and where there exists no danger of the ink freezing,the cap may be reduced in weight, by the omission of the upper partthereofthis omission not affecting the main result, Viz. the immobilityof the ink stand.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim therein as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

My method of attaching ink stands to desks or tables, by means of thebase plate B, cap C, and screws S S, in the manner and for the purposesubstantially as described.
